News

Impact

Carrick was decent in the minors last season, notching 39 points in 72 games, but the 25-year-old forward likely won't ever hold a regular spot in an NHL club's lineup. He's slated to spend the majority of the 2017-18 campaign with Anaheim's AHL affiliate.

News

Carrick signed a two-year, two-way extension with the Ducks on Tuesday.

Impact

Carrick didn't play any time with the big club this season, but his 39 points over 72 AHL games -- including 11 in 15 with Anaheim's affiliate in San Diego -- apparently convinced the Ducks to retain him through 2018-19. The 25-year-old likely still needs more time to develop into an NHL regular, but he has some potential.

News

Carrick was recalled to Anaheim on Sunday, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.

Impact

The forward was one of three minor-leaguers called up to the big club after the elimination of AHL San Diego on Saturday. The center hasn't played in an NHL game all season, and it seems unlikely that he will slot into playoff action unless it's an absolutely dire circumstance for the Ducks.

News

The Ducks assigned Carrick to AHL San Diego on Wednesday.

Impact

The Ducks decided to slot Jared Boll into the lineup for Wednesday's Game 7 against Edmonton in favor of other options such as Carrick and Nicolas Kerdiles, so the 25-year-old pivot will head back to the minors and return to his spot in San Diego's lineup for Game 3 of the team's second-round series against AHL San Jose. If Anaheim is able to advance to the Western Conference finals, Carrick may return to the big club to provide the Ducks with additional depth at forward against the Predators.

News

Carrick was recalled from AHL San Diego on Tuesday.

Impact

Carrick was brought up while in the midst of an AHL playoff campaign, which usually doesn't happen unless there are some injury concerns on the roster of the parent franchise. In the Ducks' case, forward Patrick Eaves (lower body) doesn't seem like he'll be able to go in Wednesday's Game 7, and Carrick provides a mix of speed, physicality and responsibility that the team's other extra forwards (lumbering enforcer Jared Boll and skilled but defensively limited Ondrej Kase) can't.

News

The Blackhawks traded Carrick and and Spencer Abbott to the Ducks in exchange for Kenton Helgesen and a 2019 seventh-round pick Wednesday.

Impact

None of the players involved in this deal project to be strong contributors at the NHL level, so this move essentially boils down to an exchange of organizational depth and a late-round pick. Carrick has been a decent contributor in the minors this season, notching 28 points (11 goals, 17 assists) in 57 games with AHL Rockford. The 25-year-old forward will likely report to Anaheim's AHL affiliate and finish the 2016-17 season in the minors.

News

Carrick signed a one-year contract with the Blackhawks on Friday.

Impact

Carrick spent the majority of the 2015-16 campaign with AHL Toronto, tallying 34 points (16 goals, 18 assists) over 52 games. The 24-year-old forward is purely a depth signing for the Blackhawks, and will once again spend most of the 2016-17 season in the minors.

News

Carrick was called up from AHL Toronto on an emergency basis Wednesday.

Impact

Carrick gets the call with the Leafs rostering several injured forwards and buried waist deep in rebuild mode. The 24-year-old is known as an agitator with decent skills handling the disc. In 50 games with the Marlies this season, Carrick has manufactured 33 points (15 goals, 18 assists) in 50 games to go along with a plus-11 rating. He has yet to play this season, but very well could get a shot at playing time with three games remaining on Toronto's schedule.
